Gobert getting every touch early on lol. Guess he talked to the guys.

Are our slow starts a home thing? I feel like we play really well to start on the road.

Impressive start, especially the defense of McDaniels on Haliburton.
It changes the dynamic of the game a lot when Rudy is perceived as a threat on offense.

Jaden is really coming on these last few games on both ends

The amount of stupid turnovers is really annoying. It feels like one of those games where we should have been up by 15+ points.

I am speechless on DsLOw's passing - like 3 turn overs in a row. What else can we do beside trade him for a bag of chips?

can't believe some people here wanted to give away Jaden. He is already looking lot more comfortable offensively this season when compared to last 2 seasons.

I hate dlo we would be so much better with literally any other starting pg in the entire league.

Turnover machine this team

NBA needs to change the Rip throughs call rule. Towns was clearly shooting and made the shot but was call as non shooting foul. I think they need to change it such that if you make the shot then it's a shooting foul because you most likely have intention to shoot the ball. If you don't make it, then it's a normal side out foul.

Wow nice finish to the half

Maybe I have unreasonable expectations, but teams seem to make layups around Rudy Gobert a lot more often than I thought they would be.

Devilzsidewalk · Post #15 » by **Devilzsidewalk** » Thu Nov 24, 2022 1:23 am

Taurean Prince for TJ McConnell, D'Lo for Gordon Hayward

I think that'd be neato

Devilzsidewalk · Post #16 » by **Devilzsidewalk** » Thu Nov 24, 2022 1:29 am

That DLo pass was insane. He makes insane degree of difficulty bounce passes, but can't pass the ball 8 feet on the perimeter sometimes.

case in point lol

I see what you mean and a good indicator for that is Gobert's blockshot number is well below his avg. Part of it may have to do with scheme and coverage. I think he is still by far the best defender and stopped a couple key possessions in the last game. Also made a couple good tip rebounds in today's game.

Sheesh RIP Jaden

Turner is Steph Curry now? The things you learn.
